Reviews
Sow February to April. Sow seeds individually in 7.5cm (3in) pots and place on a warm windowsill or in a heated propagator at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F), until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days.

Grow on seedlings in a cold frame and gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 45-60cm (18-24in) apart.

Grows in all soil types in borders in full sun.

Plants are best cut down in the autumn after flowering. Plants may form spreading rhizomatous roots once established.

  1. It's a spreader

    By Paul Cotter 31-05-2011

    Lovely plant - very healthy and strong with plenty of flowers. However - from 5 small plants last year I now have a 2 metre wide clump as it spreads underground, so be careful where you site it. I imagine I shall have to remove a lot of it next year.
